Answer: According to the Foundation FAQ:

Most wish requests fall into four major categories:

  • I wish to go

    Some wish kids want to travel to their favorite theme park, while others want to visit an exotic beach, go on a cruise, see snow for the first time, or attend a major sporting event or concert.

  • I wish to be

    Children search the depths of their imagination when they wish to be someone for a day – a firefighter, a police officer or a model.

  • I wish to meet

    Many want to meet their favorite athlete, recording artist, television personality, movie star, politician or public figure.

  • I wish to have

    Children often wish for a special gift, like a computer, a tree house, a shopping spree or something that they have coveted for a long time.

From the Australian website:
Wishes fall into four categories:
I Wish to be… a helicopter pilot, a zoo keeper, a published author
I Wish to go… to the Gold Coast theme parks, Disneyland, to the snow
I Wish to meet... an AFL footballer, a rock band
I Wish to have…a shopping spree, a home entertainment centre, a recreational vehicle

The most common Wishes are computers, cubby houses and trips to places like the Gold Coast and Disneyland.

According to the Illinois chapter, trip wishes are the most common.
